1993-1995
Axamenta started in October 1993 as a trio :
- Koen Vriesacker : vocals, guitar
- Steven De Meyer : guitar
- Frederik Van Mieghem : drums
Back then the music was more straightforward deathmetal. This line-up recorded the "Echoes"-demo in October 1995.

With the demise of Axamenta having been near, the band decided changes had to be made. They incorporated their passion for fantasy and horror in their music, musically as well as lyrically. "More" became a keyword in Axamenta... more different vocals, more symphonic influences, more melodies, more twin-guitar parts,... .
The band started describing their new style as FANTASY METAL.
Influences from very different styles are possible : blackmetal, deathmetal, doommetal and even the odd heavy metal-riff.
In August 1999 Axamenta was reinforced by Ann Kermans on vocals.

Their line-up now being complete, the band recorded the "Nox Draconis Argenti"-CDemo in November 1999. Reactions to this CDemo have been very positive so far and Axamenta even got a record deal offered by LSP-company.

2001-...2001 brought misfortune for the band; Anfauglir and Shar’teel had both left in late 2000, and especially finding a suitable second guitarplayer alongside Yvel, proved to be a problem. Several candidates were tested. Among these were Gorg (ex-Fatal Obsession) and Lord Caldron (ex-Ecliptica, ex-Sfagnum). Another problem was the departure, in March, of Finster, bassplayer and co-songwriter for years.

In July 2001, the debut album of Axamenta, aptly titled "Codex Barathri" (Book of the Underworld), is finally recorded, once again in the Cavern Studios. The recording line-up on this release is as follows :
- Mordheim: vocals
- Yvel : guitars and keyboards
- Count Friedrich von Miecheim : drums
- Finster : session bass

It now (October 2001) seems Axamenta have found a new guitarplayer in Brek (also in Gurthang). Kristof joined Axamenta in january 2002 as bass-player (also guitarplayer in Etherial Dawn).

In October 2004 the band signed a new deal with the Dutch label Karmageddon Media (ex-Hammerheart Records).
